Observing the different optimizations in communication protocols for more efficient algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The different optimization performed for data exchange between the nodes of a wireless sensor network is necessary to reduce as much as possible the energy consumption. The battery constrain is the main challenge in this kind of network implementation. The protocol used for data communication from the source the sensing node toward the sink needs to bring an improvement. It will allow a longer lifetime duration for the network by keeping the nodes alive for a longer time. A longer the lifetime of the network allows its usability in different environment where the monitoring of different conditions maybe a necessity. But lately the Wireless Sensor Networks are used as well for tracking purposes like finding the nurses and doctors in a hospital centre. The data exchange and choices of the next sensor node to pass the data in the new algorithms apply the social behaviour of the birds, bees, ants in their search for food where those are in bunches or colonies. Also, within Wireless Sensor Networks application the nodes communicate by mimicking their social behaviour within the algorithm used for the data exchange, with the only purpose that data transmission and communication with the other nodes might not drain the battery.
